spman:Now how does it work, is there still like a central KKK office handing out directives to local franchises, or is the Klan of 2013 just a bunch of white trash assholes wearing the Confederate Flag and adopting the letters KKK as though it gives their insanity some sort of credibility?

They wanted to build a central headquarters but were forced to abandon the idea when it came down to discussing the name.

Hmm, I'm sensing some negativity towards these guys, maybe they could do with a rebranding?Change the name to something less charged, maybe K³ would help.As for the robes, well I'm sure they're an absolute nightmare to keep clean even with modern detergents so I propose they all wear Speedos, cover themselves in butter and take overdose quantities of fortified psychedelics and have at it in an empty hot-tub with some poisonous snake helmets and hot-coals enemas...Oh, that got weird. I need to rethink my proposal.

When my son was about two or three, we came across a gathering in the town square of this city where we had come for a christmas festival. When we got closer we realized it was Klanta Klaus: Red Klan robe with fur trim, elves in white and green Klan robes, etc. They were taking pictures just like a mall Santa--so we got one with my kid on his lap. My kid is Hispanic....my husband had to stand a little out of the way, but we still got a kick out of putting my dirty beaner spawn on Klanta's lap. We were chanting "You touched a Mexican!" as we left (hurriedly left).

Idiots. I doubt if they would be able to manage a neighborhood watch program. They'd probably burn it all down trying to get the cross lit....

spman:It seems to me like if you really wanted people to listen to your views on racial, ethnic, or religious superiority, and take them seriously, you should probably avoid using the Confederate Flag, the letters KKK, or the swastika altogether. These things all have a pretty negative conotation amongst the public, perhaps it's time to adopt a new symbol for your hate group? Maybe one that doesn't remind people of slavery, lynchings, or Adolf Hitler?

Those are pretty powerful marketing tools for like-minded individuals.
